Another dry and dusty day but this is typical of the extent of the burning around here, nothing on the scale of north from here

Its baking hot now but despite the heat the fan on the KLX just wont come on under normal offroad riding.
The overheating problem hasnt resurfaced since they checked the system out.
Its my guess that it was caused by the expansion tank being overfilled.
After they replaced the coolant at the 36000 km service I noticed the expansion tank was filled virtually to the top and it was only after this that the problem started, I now see that a pen mark has been put where it should be filled up too which is quite a bit lower.
This is where it always was when the bike was new and hopefully it will now be fine

I guess none of these tracks heading east will go very far as its a bit hilly ahead

As I ride down there I am told its going to be a small reservoir so next trip should see it filled.
Dirt finishes at N16.82927 E098.59776

I guess the owner of this Honda Wave enjoys music while riding
